The Quilt Show presents A to Z for Ewe and Me, the latest quilt in prizewinning quilter Janet Stone's 26-quilt alphabet series. Designed exclusively for members of TQS, the 69"x 82" quilt is a playful yet sophisticated sampler. Each letter in the alphabet has its own panel, where it's combined with a related pieced or appliquéd block. Make one for the child in your life, or make one for the child in you!

Thanks for your patience while we checked out the pattern. This is the suggestion made by our pattern writer:
The top left curl of the N is perhaps a hair larger than the one on Janet's quilt in the picture. You do need to make sure the bottom left curl snugs up against the basket, and you also need to make sure that you have an accurate 1/4" seam allowance when joining the 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" square to the basket block. If it were me, I'd simply trim the top left curl a little to make it fit.

Hmmm... I have a general question about the pattern and maybe I missed this from earlier correspondence. You mention pattern writer in your note. Did Janet write the instructions for the BOM or did someone else write it based on looking at Janet's quilt?

I've been looking at the "Show and Tell" finished blocks and they seem OK maybe someone could tell us how they did it.
I notice Margo's are OK.
I've printed off 3 of the N letters and will cut them up to see if I can make it fit. The annoying thing is that I have already cut out the letter N from my fabric.

There must be something wrong with the pattern. The printed letter "N" measures 5" x 7-1/2". The background measures 7-1/2" x 7-1/2".
If you look at Julie's video at 1:07, you will see that the letter is smaller than the background. Even if it should overlap on the block, there will not be enough room at the right.

I'll wait for other comments/revision before I begin the "half-size" process...
